SEAS Blue - The IKI SES Project SE Asian Blue Carbon Dataset

The data set contains seagrass soil carbon (blue carbon) characteristics for four sites in each of Thailand (Trang), Malaysia (Johor and Penang) and The Philippines (Roxas), and for six sites in Indonesia (North Minahasa and Sangihe Island). For each site, four seagrass cores (100 cm long) were collected and then sliced at 1 cm intervals for the top 5 cm and for 5 cm intervals thereafter. Every slice was analysed for dry bulk density and Loss on Ignition (Organic Matter). Approximately 26 slices per core were analysed for Organic Carbon (elemental analysis). The data set provides the location coordinates for each core and the above variables for each slice that was analysed.

本数据集涵盖泰国董里府（Trang）、马来西亚柔佛州（Johor）与槟城州（Penang）、菲律宾罗克萨斯市（Roxas）各4个采样点，以及印度尼西亚北米纳哈萨县（North Minahasa）与桑义赫群岛（Sangihe Island）共6个采样点的海草床土壤碳（蓝碳，blue carbon）特征数据。每个采样点均采集4根长度为100 cm的海草柱芯，柱芯表层5 cm以1 cm间隔进行分层切割，其余深度段以5 cm间隔切割。对每份切片样品均开展干容重与烧失量（Loss on Ignition，有机质）分析；每根柱芯约选取26份切片开展有机碳元素分析。本数据集包含每根柱芯的定位坐标，以及所有待测切片的上述各项变量数据。
